Description
The Year Without a Summer is the story of a Southern Maine farm family in 1816, a year after the volcanic eruption of Mount Tambora. Following the death of the family patriarch in the spring, his wife and grown children struggle to maintain their equilibrium when the wintry weather suddenly arrives in June. Its devastating impact on their crops stirs up childhood rivalries and contributes to the decision of some family members to emigrate. The book chronicles their journey to Ohio, but not everyone finds what they are seeking, and must decide whether to stay or return to Maine.
